Some time ago (perhaps more than a year), a well-meaning friend bought me a sort of presentation box containing four small cacti. He had bought them at a local market because he had "never seen anything like them before." Well, no, he wouldn't have, as these poor little plants had been spray-painted, presumably to sell them better to unwary customers: purple, blue red and yellow were the chosen colours, if I recall correctly. I just allowed the paint to wear off over time and have gradually moved the cacti to larger pots. They now look like they are meant to look and can get on with their lives again. Here are photos of them as they are now, for you to see how they have recovered.
If you can identify any of these cacti, please do so. It would be a great help.
